We have not decided the precise membership of the
Group. It is, of course, an inter-governmental group and
it will, we expect, contain on it Hong Kong Government
officials, but we have not decided the precise membership
of the Group.
No question.
The Governor, of course, will be on it.
The Governor will be on it. I shall be
absolutely astonished if the Governor is not on it!
QUESTION
Prime Minister, Arthur Scargill, a man noted for
his Marxist views, has been trying to bring down your
Government in Britain. Why, after a day in Peking, are
you so convinced of the integrity of the Narxists there?
PRIME MINISTER

This is an agreement which has been entered into
with the Chinese Government. It is in the interests of the
Chinese Government, the British Government and the people of
Hong Kong to honour that Agreement and it is an Agreement
which I believe that the Chinese Government will honour, and
it has been signed in the eyes of the world, and it is a good
agreement. I believe that it will be honoured to the full.
